How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 1 = 0.51
- Check: Work backwards: 0.51 ÷ 1 × 100 = 51%.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*1. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
0.51 is the 51% share of 1. The remaining 49% is 0.49, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 1 by 51% gives 1.51 and decreasing it by 51% gives 0.49. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 0.7399, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
